>I would say that if she is healthy again and has good muscle tone to carry the foal, etc, there is no reason not to breed her. We had an andalusian mare that we breed to our friesian stallion. She colicked after a foaling a few years back and had to have over 20feet of intestines taken out. We worked hard to get her healthy again and she had a beautiful colt and had absolutely no complications throughout pregnancy or foaling and the foal is 3months old now. plus she loves being a mom.
I've got Alex's opinion. Does anyone else have
